Here is what I've been up to this week....

I had great fun getting out my paint and crackle paint to do these small blocks for a new baby boy
named Thomas my daughter asked me to make them for her friend... I made these for my own Grandchildren and they sit high on a shelf so the child can't touch them... only for decoration not toys...

I felt good to have sticky fingers again I have not done much crafting since taking up sewing...

Speaking of sewing I have finished my little embroidery piece I was working on the image I love and it's free over at Jenny's click on the side of my blog at Jennys wonderful peaceful blog The Stitchery club and it's in her shop.. enjoy...

As you all know I loved my paper crafting but I change my room to a sewing room last year well I came across these old vintage designs wooden stamps the top image in the below pic is the one I use on my Christmas tags each year

these are two others I have just got to decide which image to use on my Christmas cards this year,,

Well that's me done for this week ... I'm off to get my coffee to visit the worlds desks... Have fun x x

Thank you all so much for your kind visits and comments... well here we are again the day the major snoop takes place across the worlds crafty desks... the brainchild of the lovely JULIA pop over and see how to join in and link up we would love to see you.

Well today I am just showing how the completed ( sewing part) of the stitchery piece I was working on looks like... I still have to frame it and bind it....I Hope to get that done over the weekend... This retirement malarkey of having more time is not true ladies & gents.... I need to return to work for a rest :):):) I've never been so busy !!!

Now trying to decide what fabric to frame with..... I choose the this one below

Well I am still working on my stitchery piece from last week... I have just the words to sew... But on Sunday I decided to have a wee play with my Debbie Shore Hexagon dies... Boy can these dies cut... 6 layers of fabric at a time...

Not really done a lot with the end piece but it was fun making them maybe I will make it into a flower for a quilt piece....

My First time of putting them together it's is very relaxing I must say... so I plan to do many more.. as practice makes perfect as they say... Have a wonderful happy week to you all x x x

Jenny is unaware of the posts I write about her work or blog.... I just love her beautiful blog it's so full of inspiration .
